    Reconnaissance and Discussion on Ground Motion Induced by the 2023 Türkiye-Syria Earthquake
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Towhata, I.; Çağlayan, P.Ö.; Tönük, G.; Erginağ, U.C.; Sendir Torisu, S.
    This paper discusses the output from the damage reconnaissance conducted after the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake. First, a large landslide occurred in a limestone gentle slope without much ground water. Second, the ground subsidence in the coastal area does not comply the the local soil conditions and other observed post-seismic situations. Third, the acceleration records exhibit stronger motion with longer period and shorter duration towards the western end of the causative fault and suggest supershear rupture. To understand these features of the ground motion, this paper proposes a hypothetical model that can reproduce these observations to a good extent. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
